Jesus @ The Center: Generosity & Serving

Sep 21, 2025    Doug Walls

In our exploration of keeping Jesus at the center, we're diving deep into the transformative power of generosity and service. The story of the widow's mite in Mark 12:41-44 reminds us that God values our heart's intention over the amount we give. This powerful lesson challenges us to examine our own giving - are we offering our 'leftovers' or sacrificially giving our all to God? As we reflect on this, we're called to cultivate a spirit of abundance, recognizing that all we have comes from God. The parable of the Good Samaritan further illustrates how true generosity crosses boundaries and transforms lives. We're encouraged to take practical steps: examining our resources, practicing regular giving, and consistently serving others. By doing so, we not only obey God but also experience His refreshing presence in our lives. This message isn't just about money - it's about surrendering our whole selves to God's purpose, allowing Him to work through us to impact our world.
